Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla Intervenes in Wasiu Ayinde K1 VS Islamic Clerics Saga
“Gànú” is considered an
abusive word in Yoruba land. I am not supporting Wasiu Ayinde (K1) But we Muslims need to talk to ourselves. A reasonable person wouldn’t go where he or she was not invited. After all the late Wasiu Ayinde s (K1) mother was not a practicing Muslim when she was alive
I am a practicing Muslim I spend Millions of Naira yearly to promote Islam every year but I don’t joke with my Tradition as a Yoruba man and a royal born
Personally, I don’t listen to his music, as Wasiu Ayinde (K1) is not my favorite musician.
However, to be truthful, Wasiu Ayinde (K1) was clearly disappointed when he met Alfa in his house instead of his father’s house, where the prayer for his mother was supposed to take place. The mistake he made was in the choice of language.
But I am highly surprised and disappointed seeing almost every notable Islamic scholar fighting and threatening Wasiu Ayinde (K1) on Social media because of the abusive words instead of preaching for him as a Muslim
Where are you people when some Islamic scholars like Imam of Iwo. Imam Ogbomosho and Mr Rasheed of Iwo were abusing our Traditional Rulers and traditions? I personally started calling him Mr Rasheed since the day he opened his head to the general public because it is against the Yoruba traditions and culture when he was a king but he became an ordinary person immediately he opened he head
Where were you people when Imam of Saki was disrespectful to the King (Oba) of Saki?
Where were you when one of our Islamic scholars called (Ooni of Ife) to deburk what he didn’t know or Say publicly is that not an abuse to the Royalty and to the Yoruba’s?
It’s surprising seeing Islamic scholars dragging supremacy with the king (Oba) in a community not even a Chief or Baale but with a King is that not an insult?
Have you ever seen a pastor disrespecting any of Yoruba traditional rulers? Why are we Muslims always?
They respect themselves and Yoruba traditional rulers and it’s hard to see any reasonable Yoruba’s to disrespect any Pastor
If some Islamic scholars. Alfa refused to stop disrespecting Yoruba traditional rulers some Yoruba’s are still coming out to disrespect some of you publicly because only a bastard Yoruba born will be happy seeing any Religious leaders disrespecting their Traditional Rulers expecially in Yorubaland we don’t joke with our Traditional Rulers
Anyway, if all these Islamic scholars put the same energy into fighting for the citizens by addressing issues like Ritualists, Corruption, Cultism and other evil activities happening in Nigeria, our nation would undoubtedly be one of the best in the world
Wasiu Ayinde (K1) Might apologize tomorrow but the deed has done. All I know is that nobody can disrespect Yoruba traditional Rulers and go freely there must be reward

In a goodwill message issued by him, he described the victory as “a historic moment for the Remo people, coming at a time when the constituency yearns for a leader with vision, courage, and genuine commitment to service.”

Olowu Celebrates Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, At 84
Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, who is 84 today.
Olowu, in a statement he signed, eulogised the former military ruler for his modest achievements while he was in power.
According to Olowu, ” IBB is an enigma. He has carved a niche for himself as a former military president. His tenure witnessed the completion of many monumental legacy projects that are still visible today. His Hill Top Mansion in Minna has become a Mecca of sorts for those who aspired to lead Nigeria.”
Olowu, who described Gen Babangida as being grossly misunderstood, said history would be kind to him.
He said, “The launch of Gen Babangida’s Autobiography: ‘A Journey In Service’, and the testimonies from the likes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Abdusalam Rabiu, Oil Magnate, Arthur Eze, and many others, testified to his goodwill despite leaving public office three decades ago.
” On behalf of myself, my Oloris and Olowu-In-Council.
All members of the defunct IBB Vision 2003 and Vision 2007, I wish President Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, a happy birthday. I also wish him all the best as he aged gracefully,” Olowu added.
Born on August 17, 1941, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.
His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms.
A new dawn breaks over Agunjin — a moment etched in gold in the annals of history — as the crown of the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Dynasty returns to its rightful home. With this homecoming, the living legacy of Agunjin’s royal heritage is renewed, strengthened, and destined to shine for generations to come.
The proud sons and daughters of Agunjin welcome His Royal Highness, Oba Isiaka Babatunde Malik Adekeye, Ariwajoye III of Agunjin Land, with joy, reverence, and boundless hope for the future.
A distinguished Nigerian based in New York, Oba Adekeye is a dynamic and accomplished professional whose illustrious career spans cinematography, international trade, and hospitality. Born into the revered Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family of Agunjin, in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, His Royal Highness now carries forward an ancestral legacy steeped in honor, dignity, and purpose.
The new Oba Adekeye is the proud nephew of the late Oba Jimoh Ajide Adekeye and the grandson of Oba Alade Adekeye — custodians of Agunjin’s noble traditions whose names remain deeply woven into the history of the land.
As the Yoruba say,
“Adé kì í wọ́ lórí aláìní orí.” — The crown does not rest on a head without destiny.”
His Royal Highness wears the crown not as a mere ornament, but as a solemn trust from his ancestors to his people.
The Adekeye Royal Family extends profound gratitude to: His Excellency, H.E.AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, Chaiman GFON, Sadauna Ngeri of Ilorin, Executive Governor of Kwara State; The Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, Emir of Ilorin; The Chairman, Igbomina Traditional Rulers Forum, Oba (Barr.) Alh. Ismail Bolaji Yahaya Atoloye Alebiosu, Olupo of Ajase Ipo; The Chairman, Ifelodun Traditional Council, HRM Oba (Dr.) Alhaji Ahmed Awuni Babalola Arepo III, Elese of Igbaja; The Ifelodun Traditional Council Members and the Kwara State Traditional Council.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Hon. Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Bata, and to the Executive Chairman, Ifelodun LGA, Hon. Femi Yusuf, for their steadfast commitment to upholding historical truths and safeguarding the cherished traditions of Agunjin.
As the newly crowned Ariwajoye III, Oba Adekeye brings decades of professionalism, global exposure, and deep cultural pride to his reign. His vision is noble and unwavering — to champion sustainable development across the Agunjin district, preserve the rich traditions of the land, and unite his people both at home and in the diaspora under one banner of progress, peace, and pride.
In the words of an old royal proverb, “When the king builds bridges, the people will cross to a better tomorrow.” Ariwajoye III now stands as that bridge — connecting the heritage of the past with the promise of the future.
Long live Ariwajoye III. Long live the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family. Long live Agunjin Land.
